I'm looking for blogs, photography collections, books, or landmarks I could search on that explore the seamy side of Central Park. I don't need links to specific crimes that happened there, or history timelines. Stuff from the 1980's would be absolutely amazing, but present day is more than fine. If I can't find what I need, how would I safely plan a daytime exploration of the non-touristy Central Park? I am not located in the New York area, but have visited the city.
